    So guys, got a question. Broke down last night on the way home - throttle cable appears to have snapped. Had gotten heaps of play in it suddenly yesterday, and it suddenly gave way. Cant tell from the manual though what the cable is supposed to look like at the end. Has it got a nipple on it on the lever side, as it does down at the carby? Will post some pics in a few hours. Cheers dudes

    Legend. Saw those ebay ones when i started searching. Would work out to be about a 100 bucks probs. Would a used cable from the wreckers do you reckon? Found some for 20. If theyre not frayed, theyll do the job right?
